Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has urged 1,500 couples participating in the state’s 2026 mass wedding programme to build their marriages on trust, patience, mutual respect and the fear of Allah.

The governor gave the advice on Thursday during an orientation programme organised by the Kano State Hisbah Board for prospective couples at the Coronation Hall, as part of activities marking the mass wedding.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad.

Yusuf, represented by the Commander-General of the Hisbah Board, Aminu Daurawa, described marriage as a sacred institution that requires commitment, compassion and understanding from both partners.
